We both race through the living room, the dining room and past my mom in the kitchen then down the three, blue carpeted stairs to the large den. My dad is sitting on the edge of his leather,…

our room yet. We have a lot of other things we have to do on the house since we just moved in. I get out of bed and Mark is still snoring, so I grab my pillow and him in the back and told him he needs to get up or he’s going to be late. We get dressed and go downstairs to eat breakfast.

That isn't the only love that is going on, the entire wagon train thinks that Mrs. Conrad’s son has a little crush on my daughter. He keeps teasing her,…

He had rolled over off their bed in his sleep. The other brother Lucas had slept weirdly and had a large amount of aching pain in his back due to it. “Hey Nathan how did you sleep,” Lucas asked. “Not very well, I fell off my bed during the night” Nathan responded. “and I feel like there is something in my hair, but I…
